Hey there! I’m Josie Kay

American Poet, and one of my favorites, Mary Oliver asked; “So tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one WILD + PRECIOUS life?” Her question resonated with me personally and professionally and those two words became a mantra to drive my life and work.
Personally, I am in love with the idea of life being WILD + PRECIOUS. Because it is. It’s fast + slow, big + small, crazy + simple…wild + precious. Life is full of these moments. Everyone has a story and I’m here to tell it.

Katherine + Eric | Nashville Engagement

I’ve been so excited to share these!

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of participating in The Not Wedding‘s Nashville event. There I met and worked with some of the most amazing wedding vendors in Nashville and also got to meet many future brides. I decided to gift one lucky bride with an engagement session. All they had to do was take a selfie with me, hashtag it and whoever got the most likes won! Well I am so thankful this amazing woman was there and has quite a few friends who helped her out by liking the photo. After meeting Kat for coffee a few days later and hearing her and Eric’s love story and talking about everything from yoga to free people boots, not only was I stoked to take their pictures, I wanted to be her best friend. She is one of the sweetest, most vibrant, full of life people, who never stops smiling (a photographer’s dream).

Kat + Eric go so perfectly together (just look at the photos). They are laid back, fun and effortless together. It’s easy to see the genuine love and care they have for one another, which made my job so fun and easy. Thankfully we snuck in the photo shoot before all the leaves were gone!

Kat + Eric,

Congratulations on your ENGAGEMENT! You guys are the best. Thanks for hanging out with me + enjoy the photos.

Cheers,

Josie Kay
